Trivia
- It is interesting to note that Nagamasa isn't the only in his family to assist the Oni clan, as his wife and daughter have also helped at some point in their lives, respectively. Chronoligicaly, Oyu helped Jubei on his quest to stop her evil brother's ambitions and when Jubei's mother, Takajo, called on her to find the Sacred Flute for Jubei. Years later, his daughter Ohatsu would lend her marksman skills to Soki, during his fight against Hideyoshi's Genma forces.
- Nagamasa can be called Onimusha, as he wields an Oni gauntlet, and thus has been chosen to fight for the Oni clan.
